I've been analyzing a couple of tables with win/tie percentages for each starting hand given the number of players. It's mostly making sense, but it seems that the statistics suggest playing even LOOSER when there are more players. WHY? I can't see how more opposing players makes a flush or straight inclined couple of cards to be even better. In addition, Apu's pre-flop folding strategy (he includes tables for what cards to play or flop with suited or unsuited) suggest the same thing- play more loosely with more players! Now, it does suggest to play tighter if you have a K, but more loosely with lower cards!
Can someone explain why this is?
Also, click at your own risk, but this is Apu's site:
